The Rozhdestveno Memorial Estate (Russian: [rɐʐˈdʲestvʲɪnə]) is a writer's house museum and park near Siverskaya, Gatchinsky District, Leningrad Oblast, that commemorates the most famous owner of the estate, Vladimir Nabokov; the Batovo and Vyra estates, also immortalized by Nabokov, are nearby. As Nabokov spent part of his youth at Vyra, he visited his grandmother at Batovo and his uncle at Rozhdestveno.
The Batovo mansion burned down in 1925 and Vyra was destroyed in 1944, leaving Rozhdestveno as the sole survivor of the triad of estates owned by the Nabokov family. The estate is named after the Rozhdestva Bogoroditsy Church (Church of the Nativity of Our Lady).
